[G Tablet General] Skempo:
This thread has been quite lately. Has anyone heard anything new on an official release of 3991?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I look every day, and every day I am disappointed.

Btw, they actually pulled the 3991 UAT. The link doesn't work anymore. hmmmmmmmmm my guess is that Viewsonic themselves are worried that Wooters might try to install 3991 (good move on their part, if that's the reason).
[G Tablet General] Metal_in_Silk:
I hope they'll move forward with the update. After all the reading I've been doing I'd about decided to just wait on 3991 OTA and afterwards root and maybe install an enhancement pack. Use it like that for a while and see how it does.

Since I still haven't received a shipment conf yet the whole thing's moot for my wootin' self anyway at this point

;->

No I ain't seen no steeenkin' bike, either :p
[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
I really don't think Viewsonic care about the wooters. Another possible explaination is that 3991 is almost ready for the official release:)

That's why they pulled the beta.

Wishful thinking?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I think it's wishful thinking. They've had UAT's leaked before and have never pulled them.

I suspect that some dev saw the Woot! thread, realized that 3991 was mentioned a few times (by me) and figured it might be a good idea to pull it. Sorry in advance, if it was my fault!

Viewsonic (and the software devs at TapnTap) should care about the Woot! sale. Woot = Amazon and 10,000 devices in one day is nothing to laugh at. We have no idea how many have been sold since November, but I would suspect that it's the biggest one-day sale for the GTAB ever.
[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
I guess that's hardly a concern at this point unless people want to stick to the official releases only. You already have a tnt lite 5.0 based on the 3991:D
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You mean 'Peek-A-Boo' Rom? :)

That thing is almost like Whack-A-Mole.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Now you see it, now you don't! Poof!
[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
Ok, what did I miss? Does this rom not exist anymore?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
VS pulled it. See, NOBODY likes 3991, not even the vendor! :D
[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
I bet VS is regreting the whole rebranding business right about now.
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
So, any news about an update coming out?
[G Tablet General] Captain Obvious:
Roe

Any way someone could get the tnt 5 rom from you directly? Or have you given it the kaibosh?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
reserved (just in case, I suppose)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Thanks for the mention friend. We need to make sure we tell them that Freeze is a paid feature of Titanium Backup paid version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MysteryOfTime:
Hmm, so I was dump and didn't read the sentence in the parenthesis next to Home 2.2.1. I froze it without have something else and now after a reboot my phone is stuck at the AT&T Rethink Possible Screen. Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] franciscojavierleon:
is the freeze option the equivalent of just renaming the .apk to .bak? If so, it could be an alternative to buying tibu.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] snlu178:
This is great. Thanks for getting it stickied.

Re: the no home rebooting nag this point, check out the post on recovering from a soft boot. You will have to learn about adb, but you can get the phone back to life. Anyone else have a faster way to factory reset?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] snlu178:
In a sense yes. But TiBu is faster and I would argue has less user error. Plus the app is so great you should spend the money to support the dev. But, you can go through changing the names.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
Thanks for staying on top of things, snlu178.

I should have a moment now to update a couple of things, including the mention that the freeze feature is paid only (something I was wondering about but didn't want to speak on too soon; thanks again, Fixter).

Also, regarding the ghetto .bak alternative, does that require Root Explorer? I guess I'd be willing to mention it, but ultimately, if it's a matter of buying Root Explorer, then I might just confine this thread to dealing with TiBU.

Let me work on a small revision, and also make sure freezing Home 2.2.1 can be risky if done so improperly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] franciscojavierleon:
Just found out root explorer is also paid. Not that i don't want to pay, it's just that i am new at android (atrix will ship down here in about 2 weeks) and don't know if the market accepts credit cards from Venezuela yet. I will try...

My guess is that there should be a way to rename files from the adb shell as well. Either that, or install openssh or something on the phone and then just su and rename. It's linux, after all.

About freezing home, besides having already installed another launcher like launcher pro or adw, i guess it should be active before freezing it? To avoid force close or other problems.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] azwildfire:
Have you tried using google checkout?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
Really good idea. I don't know if it's necessary, but always better safe than sorry. I will add a notice to not only have another launcher installed, but also "defaulted".
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
When you install something like ADW and nothing else. Home = Motoblur is completely deactivated. Its like ADW becomes the default home app. You'll need app switcher to get back to it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
Ducking out for a sec, but I'll make a note of this when I get the chance. And do you mean home switcher?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Yes Sir, sorry.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] franciscojavierleon:
there's moto home fix in the Market specifically for moto phones with blur for this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
I know this. I was just stating a fact.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] snlu178:
I agree to call out the need to have a new home app installed and defaulted prior.

Moto Home Fix is what switches back to Home 2.2.1 (if it's not frozen).

Also, though Home 2.2.1 is not default when you have a new launcher it still runs in the background draining CPU and RAM. And every bit you save helps in my book.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kgeissler:
I compared running services on my Nexus One (with CM7) with my Atrix and tried disabling services that were on the Atrix, but not on the N1. I have froze the following with no ill effects yet....

I am not running Blur, I am running Launcher Pro.

If anyone recognizes any of these that I should defrost, please let me know.

Titanium Backup

Can Titanium Backup be placed on the SD card, or does it need to be kept in the main phone memory? Haven't seen this addressed anywhere and I have little experience with apps functioning from SD cards.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] acPIZZA:
Yes, thanks for the mention.

Also, in my quote - I mention the paid version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kent c:
Got a free app called App Quarantine today. (Saw a ref to it on Reddit) Seems to be working for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] colemac:
Can I freeze these on atrix bell?

Accounts 2.3.4

Accounts Storage - 2.3.4

Reason I ask is that there is a motoblur icon by these in titanium.

thanks,
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
To be honest, I do not have those frozen as they limit the functionality of (obviously) a couple account related things (can't access google account sync settings, for example, I'm pretty sure). As well, I believe there's also a conflict with the Contacts app when freezing those.

I have heard, though, that if you freeze both of the Yahoo! elements (authenticator & contacts?) that you can then safely freeze the two Accounts elements.

I honestly have no idea why this would be the case, and I'd wait for corroboration on this before doing all of that, but I have heard it said.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
ALSO:

(and I apologize for the double post)

I have seen a recent resurgence in the demand for more comprehensive freeze lists.

If a few of you would like to add to the lists in the OP, I'd be more than happy to update it to be current with the 2.3.4 Gingerbread release.

If people would also like to post in support of a list update, please do so- I'd love to help out the community, but if people aren't too worried about freezing bloat anymore, I'd prefer to focus on schoolwork.

So,

PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

AND THANK YOU ALL SO FAR!!!​
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bull8042:
I noticed that freezing the Yahoo! authenticator alone will hose up the contact app for whatever reason, been there done that. I have yet to find the magical combination of app to freeze to remove Yahoo! without causing force closes in the Contact app itself.

I have also found that freezing the Data Manager will prevent the phone from accessing the ringtone and notification sounds.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
Yup, I can corroborate this. That's why I kinda took the report with a grain of salt. It did state that it was a matter of freezing things in a certain order and other such raindancy things which I did not perform...so there might be something to it, but I kind of highly doubt it.

As well, if the process is that complicated, I'm sure you'll run into freezing element xyz to be a problem at some point.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bull8042:
Perhaps if we install the "Dancing Naked While Swinging a Dead Chicken" app from the Market first, we will be able to freeze whatever we want...

*snicker*
[Atrix 4G Android Development] AnalogXDA:
ContactsData

Contacts Sync

Freeze those two, and you can then freeze Yahoo Authenticator and Yahoo Contacts. I would leave Accounts alone; as others have pointed out, you'll need it to change your individual Google account sync settings.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] purpler:
any way of automating this freezing thing, in case of changing ROM's and stuff so we can repeat all this without wasting same amount of time? Something with Titanium perhaps?

thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mgamerz:
Alternativley just wipe preinstall and reflash the rom (eh... erase after flash but before first boot)

To guy above: make a label. Assign bloat to it, then search, check the bloat label, and do a freeze all batch.

Trolling from my ATRIX 4G's XDA premium app, still on the gold medal winner of worst customer satisfaction for the second year in a row! Congrats!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] purpler:
@Mgamerz tried, i reset the phone and when i started TiBu in fresh ROM there were no label nor any fricken bloat assigned to label i made.

If i remember correctly Titanium preserved it's settings before. So you can flash new ROM and have old settings of it after new install.

In that case i would have that bloat label i created after resetting the phone would save myself 10 minutes of life which would be spent on checking and freezing bloat apps all over again :\\

Edit:

**** i figured my "Auto-Sync TB settings" checkbox was unchecked FFS :((

Sorry :(

i didn't notice any problems with contacts.apk FC'ing with the yahoo stuff frozen, but i can confirm that freezing corporate sync authenticator will cause FC's in the share contact cards menu.

edit 1/2/2012: i take that back. yahoo mail authenticator FC'ed contacts when deleting someone from favourites. taking it off my list.

has anyone tried freezing the three suggestions apps?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
Yup, past my comment about "FOTA," I'd say you're probably in the clear if you haven't had any problems yet. Also, I'm not sure if what I think about FOTA is right or not, and ultimately if you catch wind of an update, you can just defrost it.

Can I give it a day, and then, if you're still A-okay, I'll integrate your list?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cellzealot:
Yes, FOTA Firmware Over The Air and is one of the components needed for official OTA updates.

Also Voice Commands is used by BT headsets for handsfree control through the headset. I am not certain if most in car factory installed BT systems use it as well.

If you don't use any BT accessories with your phone then I guess you won't miss it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ikenley:
Can anyone confirm or deny whether Adfree, is capable of bricking the phone or causing it to fail hash checks when going for an update? I ask this because of the changes it makes to the hostfile.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] snlu178:
Some great changes there. I won't shut off DLNA as I like it. Nor the extdisp services. But all in all some new ones for the list. Can we say Blotware?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
Cellzealot, are you pretty knowledgeable regarding what some of the more elusive elements affect? For example, I personally would be scared to freeze "com.android.providers.applications 2.2.1" and maybe a couple others that kgeissler froze.

Excluding those that are pretty obvious ones (like, say universal inbox or task manager, which obviously control the universal inbox or task manager), do you know what each element controls?

Thanks

Indeed, bro.

Part of me wants to wait a spell on kgeissler to ensure that he's still running smooth, but, all in all, agreed. More for the list. I'll get on it here momentarily.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] diablo009:
Please do NOT disable "Social Messaging Service 2.2.1". Freezing it is killing auto sync.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xyrovice:
Tell me more. (This is why I want to wait a bit before adding things)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] diablo009:
If u freeze this, ur gmail/other accounts won't sync automatically. You would need to open the app/mails and then sync manually.

By sync I mean stuff like push messages.

I would recommend u take off "terminal emulator" too off the list, to be on the safe side. I think it is used by some people here for various adb related things.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Redajx:
I froze this service last night and my auto sync seems to be working just fine so far.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] diablo009:
I don't know why then. My auto sync stopped when I froze this. Multiple reboots n still no use. It got reactivated as soon as I defrosted this service.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drsuse:
does this have to be done with titanium backup? I use root explorer.

I create and app.disabled in the system directory then move the bloatware to that folder. i should be able to adb into it if it starts being funky. is thas a good alternative? or is freezing much better?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] diablo009:
~$6.5 spent on TiBu is well spent money. Just get it. It'll save u from a lot of hazzles.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xXxSamxXx:
Thank you so much xyrovice for this wonderful thread. This has really sped up my device. My only question is, does anyone know how much ram and cpu is freed up using the list xyrovice provided?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] snlu178:
I also froze this and my gmail syncs faster than on my PC. No issues at all. This is for those that use social media widget with MotoBlur.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] diablo009:
100 MB RAM to say the least. I always had like 300-400 RAM free earlier. Now have like little over 500
